<400Kb/sec transfer over Cat5 :(
hi guys and girls of the NAS community. COMPLETE n00b, first post... ive aquired a ReadyNAS Duo and ive put 2x 500Gb Samsung HD501LJ drives in. configured it as RAID 1 and attempted to transfer aroun...
hi StephenB
i DEFINATELY have a Duo V1.
On my laptop im now running Win 8 Pro x86, Intel Celeron M 1.73GHz, 2Gb RAM, Qualcomm Atheros AR5007EG wireless network adaptor (dont know how much of this is relevant) it doesnt matter if i map the drive or access through Network tab in windows explorer, initial populating of the readyNAS contents its painfully slow, once its there, you can search maybe 2 folders into the directory tree before it reports that its 'not responding' (when as a mapped drive it just kicks you out and says the network source is no longer available.)
i have the ReadyNAS setup to spindown after however minutes of inactivity because it has a 'lovely' harmonic with my corner table when in use and its rather annoying... id be worried about it if it did it over cat 5 with my desktop but the desktop is running Win 7 Ultimate and it never misses a beat... i can say it only seems to be a problem with my laptop too (i have tried a 10yr old Dell with a 3com card and it performs faultlessly on Win XP Pro SP3) cat5 or WiFi it faulters as described above BUT some days its possible to use it for 3 or 4 hours over cat5 or WiFi transfering at full speed all the time. i must say though this is seriously beginning to annoy me im still atempting to sort the dir structure of Ready NAS out and doing with the laptop would be soo much easier if only the connection would behave itself!
Edit:- if i use FTP it works first time EVERY time it pulls max speed on which ever medium i use for transfer. so i think my issue lies with CIFS... maybe... what do you lot think ;)
